Part of ROs B9 fleet is earmarked for ALX/Trident replacement. The thing is there's that many buses from 2001/2 in FSY's fleet (B7s/Tridents) that they are all going to be ready for replacing near enough at once, partly because FSY have taken on that many midlife buses from other opcos in previous years and partly because South Yorkshire recieved a number of new buses back then. Its not hard to seperate the junk from stuff that can soldier on. |

I'm not a fan of the ALX400s/ Tridents/ B7Ls. but how would you order the three types in terms of "first out of the door" / "last out of the door", if there were ten/fifteen/twenty B9s coming home from Rotherham to Olive Grove? |

In terms of breakdowns it would have to be Tridents first |

In terms of breakdowns it would have to be Tridents first Followed by B7L's for body condition I imagine... Pretty simple list to compile! |
